UC Berkeley researchers create a stable CO2-capturing COF-999, potentially aiding in global warming mitigation.

Researchers at UC Berkeley have created COF-999, a new covalent organic framework that efficiently captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from ambient air. Unlike previous methods, COF-999 remains stable in water and contaminants, allowing it to operate effectively without high energy inputs. This advancement could significantly aid in reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, supporting efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C, as emphasized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
